    The McDonalds seem to get better with age.

    Maybe we need an I Was Wrong thread?

    I've certainly been off the mark with TMac. After that GWS game last year I thought he was done...

    I'mnot watching the game, but I see that OMac has 2 goals, 7 score involvements and 3 goal assists playing as a 196cm ruckman...

    it's an incredible comeback from being ditched by first mfc then cfc

    it will be interesting to see how they combine darcy, jackson, treacy, amiss, and o mac going forward

    Interesting; Freo up by 40 odd, then gave up late goals in the last quarter to win by 18.

    Very similar to last night.

    Had a serious back injury while at Carlton, and they obviously thought he was cooked. Worked very hard in the VFL to give himself another chance, which was almost lost through last year's knee injury.

    Asking genuinely, was Ben McKay really good at Kangas? I never really watched any of their games.

    i watch the roos every week. he was horrendous.

    Must have taken OMac off for the last 15 minutes.

    Freo have a lot of journeymen playing for them. OMac, Narkle, O’Meara, Aish and Wagner are all at their third club.

    It’s interesting to me that McKay was talked about as a gun full back whilst at the Roos, then I watched him play at Essendon and I thought he must’ve had a huge drop off in form

    Interesting. I thought he was tracking really well as a young KPD. Until Robbie Tarrant left for Richmond and left him to lead the backline. McKay seemed to stagnate, if not regress from that point .

    But I've not watched them as much as you

    Anyone else think the scoring pattern at the Coll/Ess game was unusual, or everyone except C just got tired.

    The Saints always wear such Crappy “Away” Strips, even when they are playing at home

    What a Dogs Breakfast

    It feels like they've worn a different guernsey in every game so far this year. The Belgian flag one is still to make an appearance though.

    Saints prove they are rubbish earlier than usual

    Lions should be flag favourites and then daylight. Their squad is so deep. they are just in cruise mode

    Just a final reflection on Ben McKay @Go the Biff and @BoBo, - he is not inside the top 150 players in the comp. Yet North got pick three as compensation for him. Get your head around that 🥇. Everyone gets a participation medal.

    Too early to call mate

    This time last season the premiers and a top 6 team were 13th and 17th!

    (and we were 4th 😬)

    Hahaha, wow, picks 1 to 4 for us then for Kozzie if that’s the standard.

    I looked up his contract and it’s averaged to $800k over 6 years. So it’s not the craziest amount. Still $100k too much for his output and that’s being generous.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
